i want the 240 scene to grow up and chill out like that other poster said about the honda scene...
im married to my 240 for all extensive purposes, 7 good years and im going to make it survive...
the classic porsche scene is much like what i want 240s to become... everyone is more chilled out and focused on getting things done right... (check out pelicanparts.com forum) not flashing around with loud ass pipes and slapping overfenders onto drift-damaged rear quarters rather then learning bodywork and welding in good metal.

Ok again this is better and I applaud you for putting some real feelings into and thoughts into what you were trying to say.
I think a better statement would have been "I think the drifting craze has fucked up how our cars are viewed".
Its funny too, because back in the day we could not even get respect for our cars. People would be like oh why do you car about that old Nissan. LOL
Then it was like wow you are into those cars. Then it became wow do you drift? I drift blah blah blah.
Then it was every high school kid this side of the sun buying the cars and fucking them up. Half painted, primered grey. Shitty body kits. etc....
So I understand now how you really feel and can't blame you. Cannot say I don't feel the same way to a certain extent.
The difference is I have realized for the most part its not going to go the way of say the Porsche scene.
The cars are too inexpensive and due to Nissan's failure of marketing them properly here in the states of fear of affecting Z32 sales its just not there.
Even though Magazines like Super Street listed them as one of the top ten tuner cars of all time. If that is worth anything. LOL
